#this was such a sweet lil ficlet omg

[strawbubbysugar]

So uuuuuhh I was daydreaming in class today and I was imagining a scenario with Arche, so I'm curious about how this hypothetical in a different timeline/universe would play out! This is in the context of Elio still being on the front lines and the arrangement going as it's supposed to. Also this scenario would probs be years before the wedding, if that makes a difference. Here's the scene:

~~~

Arche's betrothed (not necessarily Dahmia, unless her personality is different in this world, up to you!) goes to Arche's tower and knocks on the door.

"Enter." Arche's voice is as grumpy as it usually is.

They enter the tower, closing the door behind them and standing in the middle of the room, holding themself for comfort.

"What is it?" Arche asks in a somewhat blunt manner, raising an eyebrow.

"I...I wanted to ask you something." They say quietly, not looking at him.

"Go on, then. Out with it," Arche says impatiently.

"Is...is it possible for me to somehow transfer my soul into a body built similar to yours? Perhaps...after the wedding?"

Arche's eyes widen, brows furrowed. "What-"

"We're stuck in this arrangement," They interrupt him. "Whether we like it or not. And..." Their eyes fall to the floor as they try not to get emotional.

"I don't want you to feel disgusted whenever you're around me."

Arche's face falls slightly as they continue, but he keeps his expression as neutral as he can.

"You're right," His betrothed chuckles emptily, almost embarrassed. "Humans are gross. We get sick, we have bodily fluids, weird smells, whatever. You were right as a child, and you're right now. I remember all of those times you made comments about my 'gross human stuff'."

They finally lift their eyes to meet Arche's gaze, their eyes slightly watering. "I don't want you to have to deal with that for the rest of your days. Hell, I don't want to deal with it either."

They take a step towards Arche, their face contorting to one of slight worry and sadness. "When we wake up in bed together, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable being close to me. When we have to kiss in front of everyone, I don't want you to have the feeling of wanting to jump out of the window in disgust. When we work together as rulers, I don't want you to keep your distance from me because you don't want to be around a 'filthy human'."

Arche thinks back to all of the times he made comments about humans being gross or disgusting when they both were young kids. He realizes now it's all manifesting into this very moment, and he's not sure what to say.

"Arche," They step a little closer, but give him fair space. "I know you hate this arrangement. I know you don't like me very much. I can handle that, honestly. Despite caring deeply for you, I can handle you not reciprocating that. But the thought of you being disgusted every moment you're close with me..." They shake their head, as if doing so would somehow rid them of the anxiety. "I can't stand it."

"I thought maybe...maybe I could make it more bearable for you if I wasn't human anymore. I want to make this arrangement the most pleasant it can possibly be for you. I know the whole point of us marrying is to unite the kingdoms, so it wouldn't make much sense if I wasn't human anymore. But...I don't know." They scoff in cold amusement, holding their head as they laugh at themselves. How silly. Why did they think it would be a good idea? Stupid. "I thought maybe...nevermind. I...I'm sorry."

They turn around and walk as fast as they can towards the tower's exit. "I shouldn't have said anything. I'm sorry for bothering you."

~~~

Sooooo yeah. I was imagining what I would do if I were in the arrangement with Arche, and I would feel soooo self-conscious after the whole "humans are smelly" thing during the dance, and just general comments/teasing every time I would sneeze or cough or something like that lol. Kinda like this moment in chapter 22 (Cubbies):

"At the mention of eating and feeling full, her stomach growled, as if to interject in the conversation. Her face flushed and she cleared her throat, hoping that he didn’t hear it. While around Beck she wouldn’t have been phased by such a small, human thing, being around an Atomaton it almost felt like admitting a weakness."

I was like "whoooa that's relatable af, i'd totally feel the same way" and then ended up daydreaming that scenario in class a couple hours later lol.

What do you think Arche would do in this hypothetical situation?

Sorry if this is kinda weird to ask about T_T

Awh this is so sweet!!! Def would be a y/n/other hypothetical princess rather than Dahmia, Dahmia (while occasionally embarrassed about human details) knows the significance of her being human and wouldn’t trade her body. She is very curious about it after seeing Cas, but if someone offered, she would decline.

I think in this hypothetical Arche would start to feel guilty about all the teasing he did as a child, and try to subtly make up for it without going out of his way to apologize. Complimenting how you smell, making a comment about how ‘interesting’ and ‘unique’ human biology is. He’d try to be slick about it so you don’t think he’s lying for your sake while trying to change your mind at the same time.

💗 Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love! 💗

-- @the-frankenman-writes

🥺thank you @the-frankenman-writes omg!!!!

Let's see, 5 favourites in no particular order...

Holy, Holy, Holy (Original, 689 Words) - Abstract, flowery smut, reader x eldritch angel

While We Wait (The Sandman, 371 Words) - One of a series of 2nd person ficlets following a Dream left behind when Morpheus was trapped by Burgess (I recommend the whole series but this is the one that cemented my love for the character)

What Do You Call A Double Life When It Doubles? (Quantum Leap x Torchwood, 2608 Words) - Lil niche but I had so much fun with it -- it's a crossover where Ian Wright becomes a double agent for Torchwood through a series of unfortunate coincidences

Labels (Quantum Leap, 884 Words) - In which Jenn Chou is a mentally ill lesbian who happens to be attracted to Ian, and she has to figure out what that means for her. It's a reminiscent lil piece going over Jenn's journey of discovering herself. I wasn't sure about this when I wrote it because it was mostly just me working through some shit, but I got some really sweet comments about it and making people feel seen has always been one of my goals in writing <3

Corypheus Has Nothing On Stairs (Dragon Age, 622 Words) - In which my Lavellan suffers with chronic pain and fatigue but is also Extremely Stubborn. I'm not sure my characterisation of the Dalish is entirely correct any more but the fic still holds up and it made an ableist angry in the comments to bonus points for me!

I haven’t written much fluff this year so the casual intimacy and the domesticity of this just makes me melt 🥹 from Close to You —

Gigi flops onto the couch unceremoniously - head landing in Crystal’s lap, legs thrown over the armrest, focus shifted to her phone, thumbs flying over the screen. Crystal continues reading, holding her book above Gigi’s head, occasionally glancing over the edge to look at Gigi, an amused smile playing on her lips at her uncontainable energy. Barbra Streisand plays softly from the TV, both girls humming along quietly as the storm continues to rage outside.

30. biggest surprise while writing this year? —

how easy i found it writing goodecox lmaooo i really thought i was going to struggle breaking away from my jankie roots but the dynamic is so different and so fun !!

omg 29

29: Which one holds the umbrella over both of them when it rains?

heheheh, if we’re talking about a literal umbrella, it’s gotta be Rayla until Callum gets a couple of inches on her (including horns and yeah, I def headcanon that Callum will end up taller than her 🤷🏼‍♀️).

They tried with him holding an umbrella for the two of them once while he’s still a short lil 14 year old dork, but he kept getting yelled at to hold it higher because he was holding it too low and it kept knocking into her horns. The final straw was when a horn poked through the umbrella and that’s when Rayla decided he wasn’t allowed to hold their umbrellas anymore, lol.

(god, is this a ficlet brewing? oh no, all of these headcanons asks are gonna be like that huh?)

It takes some convincing (and maybe some annoying recurrence of her bad wrist?) for Rayla to hand over the umbrella once he gets a lil taller and, even then, he has to promise he won’t bonk her in the horns with it again like he did when they were younger before she lets her sweet prince make another attempt at being all ~chivalrous~

(if we’re talking non-literal umbrella, it’s gotta be the wings, y’all. So, then, Callum)

otp headcanons thing

[semisolidmind]

Omg, I was coming to say Happy Birthday and your bara sans distracted me momentarily! XD Happy Birthday! Would you like a ficlet for a gift? You choose you characters and prompt and I'll do my best to make it amazing! :)

I'm glad you find my art so distracting, Ziggy ;)Also Thank you so much! I'm glad you thought of me! Why not go classic Frans? Somethin' a lil' sweet, maybe the teeniest bit spicy? Whatever you come up with will be as wonderful as it always is, I'm sure! ♡♡♡

Petticoat Lane

YES, I am early. YES, I am an awful swot!

... and YES, I become boring, because YES, it’s another Sackson family story! I hope you’ll like it anyway.

NOTE: I used ‘A man reborn’ by @omg-okimhere a bit as basement with the addition: Jackson and his family moved closer to Drake that he has contact to Connor and can see him grow up. Furthermore, I used an important element of @soot-and-snide  Mimimund ficlets and it is influenced by the last Sackson family idea of @ladyofdragonflies.

Words: 960

Captain Jackson eyed the paper wrapped package in front of him. He shook his head, emptied his glass and poured in another drink, right in the moment when Inspector Reid entered the pub.

Reid walked straight through the room directly towards Jackson. With a bright grin in his face, he sat down and said proudly “I got it.”

He put his parcel on the table, fiddled on the cord to open the knot and unfolded the brown paper. His face softened. “Isn’t it the cutest little helmet you’ve ever seen?”  

Reid turned the undersized policeman’s hat, gazed it with wet eyes and said sentimentally “one day, it will be no costume anymore. The son follows his father on the hard way of law and order.”

“Or he follows his mother on the colourful way of make-up and costumes” surmised Jackson bitterly.

Reid put the helmet down. “What’s that supposed to mean?”  

The Captain moved his package over the table to Reid and gestured him to open it. Then, he emptied his glass again. The Inspector followed the prompt. A moment later, he was confronted with a voluminous pink tulle petticoat.

“Connor’s costume” explained Jackson. He let his head bang on the table a few times.  When he has stopped, he looked desperately up to his friend. “I’ve made four girls in the last eight years and now it seems that my only son becomes number five and my house turns into a doll house.”

“Well, back to the roots, right?” laughed Reid, but Jackson didn’t find it amusing and grunted contemptuously.

Reid moved his chair closer to Jackson. He laid him his arm around the shoulder and said “don’t take it so hard. Maybe it’s just a phase. Look, my Walter James also insisted of some glitter on his uniform.“

“Yes, but he doesn’t want to be a pink fairy in a tutu.” Jackson pressed his face on Reid’s chest.

Reid patted his back. “What does Susan think?” he asked.

“She takes it practically” sobbed the Captain. “She says one of his younger sisters can wear the skirt when he’s grown out of it. “

Reid nodded. “What will you do now?”

“I'll go and buy him the matching pink shoes” said Jackson and got up. “I love my boy, whatever he wants to be.” He wiped his face dry, said goodbye to Reid and left the pub to go on with his further errands.

After Jackson has finished, he returned home.

***

A few days later, it was Halloween. Captain Jackson sat chained in colourful hair ribbons in the living room. Three of his daughters – all dressed as princesses – swarmed around him, decorated him – the monster dragon – with clasps,  false jewellery and more ribbons, because he – the monster dragon – had turned into a good one a few minutes ago. Susan took care about the youngest girl who couldn't walk yet but was indeed able to wear a tiara too and his son – the pink fairy – was outside with his friends to perform the usual ‘Trick or Treat’ procedure with the neighbours.

It was around 6 o’clock when the door suddenly opened and closed again with a loud bang. A pink flash rushed in and disappeared in the upper floor.

A second later, somebody knocked on the door.

Susan opened it. “Mr. Drake” she said. “What a lovely surprise. Please come in. How fare you and Francine? We didn't meet for a long time.”

“Thanks. We’re fine” responded Drake shortly and asked “Is Connor at home?”

Jackson freed himself off his prisoner’s situation - to the immense displeasure of his girls who immediately started to clamour �� and went also to the door.  There, he yelled for his son who appeared a moment later at the stairs. He had undressed his fairy costume and looked now like an ordinary boy.

As Connor saw the former Inspector, he put on his most innocent face and said with a bright welcoming smile “Hello Uncle Ben!”

Now, it was not difficult to guess that there was something rotten.

Drake indicated the boy to come closer. Connor followed obediently.

As he stood in front of the adults, Jackson asked him “what have you done?”

Connor widened his eyes as much as possible to emphasize his puppy look from which he knew that it worked for his Uncle Ben and answered “Nothing.”

This time, Drake wasn’t satisfied with it. He said seriously “Don't lie!” He took the boy’s head, turned it that his neck became visible – and the many red spots too. As well as Drake, Susan and Jackson were familiar with this kind of skin marks but wanted to know anyway “what’s that?”

The lad smirked. “It’s not my fault when all girls want to play with the sweet pink fairy?”

“But it’s your fault if you rob their sweets while they are distracted with you” answered Drake. “Don't try to deny it, lil’ crook. I saw you in action.”

Susan shook her head. “I can’t believe that my boy is a lousy thief who fools girls to get more sweets” she said sadly. “Go upstairs, take your swag and make amends. Immediately!”

Connor rolled his eyes and groaned. But nothing was as bad as disappointing the own mother and so he turned around, ran up the stairs to fetch the scammed sweets. When he came back, Drake agreed to escort the robber on his way of excuse and both left the house.

***

Jackson, back in monster dragon position pampered by the princesses, breathed relieved.

Of course it was wrong, but one must confess, it was a really cunning trick that proved: His son remained his son and Jackson retained his male support in the petticoat lane of the other Judges.

12 big sis au?

12. Shoveling snow

This was so much fun to write omg.  The Big Sis AU has so many opportunities for sweet and pure moments. 

Send me an AU and a number and I’ll write you a ficlet!

               “Got you!” Molly shouted as shelobbed a snowball at her sixteen-year-old sister.  Emily squealed when the snowball landed onher bright purple coat.  

               “Yer so mean to yer lil sister!”Emily shouted, throwing a snowball of her own at Molly.  The southern accent she’d picked up fromtheir mom had a tendency to get stronger when she yelled.  At the moment, she sounded like she had beenraised in Arkansas like Angie.  Mollyfound it endearing.  The front door ofthe Mystery Shack opened.

               “Why aren’t you gremlins helpingyour mom, like I told you?” Stan grumbled.

               “Let the kids have their fun,”Angie said from the driveway, where she was shoveling away the results of thelatest snowfall.  She stopped for amoment to lean against the Stanleymobile. “I’ve scooped up worse in larger quantities in my time on Earth.  Most of it from stables.”

               “Does that mean you’ve scoopedup better, in smaller quantities, on a different planet?  Like, I dunno, Jupiter?” Emily said.  Angie rolled her eyes.

               “I raised a couple of smartalecks, didn’t I.”

               “Yeah,” Emily and Molly saidtogether.  Stan huffed.

               “Go help your mom.  She’s turning blue,” Stan said.  

               “Wait, really?” Emily asked,turning to look at her mom.  Seizing theopportunity, Molly threw another snowball, but her aim was off.  It clipped the side of Emily’s head andsplattered on Angie’s shoulder.  Angiemerely blinked slowly in response.  

               “Sorry, Mom.”

               “Oh, geez, you really are blue,”Emily said.  The color of Angie’s lipswas reminiscent of when she would buy blueberries and eat the whole carton inone sitting.  

               “I grew up down south.  I still ain’t used to the cold,” Angiereplied.  

               “And you’re mostly skin andbones,” Stan said.  “You don’t have insulation.”  He patted his large stomach foremphasis.  

               “Gross, Dad,” Emily said.

               “What?  You’re built like a Pines, you’ve got it,too,” Stan said.  Emily scrunched up herface.  “…But it looks way better on you,pumpkin,” Stan added hastily.

               “Uh-huh.”

               “You’re a beautiful girl.  Both of you are,” Stan continued.  “Take after your mom.”

               “Dad,” Emily and Molly saidtogether.

               “Fine.  I’ll stop complimenting my gorgeous kids,”Stan muttered.  Emily rolled hereyes.  Molly looked over at Angie, whowas now visibly shivering, despite her thick coat.

               “Mom, go inside,” Molly said,walking over to her.  Angie shook herhead.

               “Nope.  Got to clear the driveway.  When the Shack opens after the holidays,folks have to be able to get here.”

               “We’ll clear it,” Emilysaid.  She looked at her mother withconcern.  “You look really cold, Mom.”

               “I’m fine, honey.”

               “You’re shivering.”

               “So?  All it means is that my body’s workin’ theway it should,” Angie said, picking up the snow shovel again.  “You two kidlets can keep goofin’ off.  I could use the exercise anyways.”  Molly and Emily exchanged a look.  

               “You’re gonna go inside, Mom,”Molly said firmly.  Angie raised aneyebrow.  

               “Oh, I am, am I?”

               “Yup,” Emily replied.  She grabbed the snow shovel from Angie.  When Angie tried to take it back, Mollygrabbed her mother around the waist and hoisted Angie over her shoulder.  Stan watched from the porch with an amusedexpression.

               “Wha- hey!” Angie yelped.  “Put me down!”

               “Nope,” Molly said, walking backto the Shack.  “You’ll turn into amomsicle if you stay out much longer.”

               “Molly Gertrude Pines, you put yer motherdown, right now!” Angie scolded.  Mollyignored Angie’s demands.  When she got tothe porch, she handed Angie over to Stan, who carefully set her down.  “Young lady-” Angie started.  She stopped and stared at Stan.  “Are ya laughin’ at yer daughters’ antics?”  Stan nodded, still chuckling.

               “Can you blame me?  It was pretty funny, seeing you get carriedoff by your own kid, shouting, your face all red.”  Stan wrapped an arm around Angie’sshoulders.  “And you’re still shivering.  Sweet Moses, you’re cold.”  Angie scowled.

               “Molly, that wasn’t the rightresponse.”

               “Nah, seemed like the rightthing to me,” Stan said.  “You’re toostubborn to call it quits on your own.”  Hewinked at Molly.  “Good work, kiddo.”

               “What about me?” Emily calledfrom the driveway, where she had started to shovel snow.  

               “You did a good job, too!” Stanreplied.  “Both of ya.  Very smooth execution.”

               “Hmph,” Angie huffed.  

               “Come on, babe, let’s go get youwarmed up,” Stan said, taking her into the Mystery Shack.  He looked back at his daughters.  “But no goofing off, got it?  I need that driveway cleared.”

               “Yes, Dad,” Molly and Emily saidtogether.  The door closed.

               “So, how long do ya think itwould take?  To clear the driveway?”Emily asked.  

               “Ten minutes, tops,” Molly said,looking at the driveway with an analytical eye.

               “And how long ‘fore Dad getssuspicious?”

               “Since he has to take care ofMom?  An hour, at least.”

               “Yeah, he gets really sappy whenMom’s sick or tired or whatever,” Emily said idly.  “So we’ve got an hour before we actually haveto work…  Wanna keep throwin’ snowballs?”

               “Do you even need to ask?”
